Gavin Hood is certainly not playing it safe with his Hollywood directorial debut, Rendition. The film, which opened October 19, tells the story of Anwar El-Ibrahimi, a suspected Egyptian terrorist who “disappears” on an intercontinental flight. His American-born wife, played by Reese Witherspoon, and a CIA agent, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, are both forced to deal with the consequences of his mysterious detention.
